What sea salt mix do you use?

[herpencounter]

I found a site that shows some of the top sea salts out there (I am going by what this site says).

So I want to sea what salts you guys use.

There is no order in the way they go it is just the most popular sea salts.

instant ocean has two salt mixes now days.
plain old one and their new reef mix.

oops, i see it there called "reef crystals". one misvote already :-(
close enough tho!

 

[herpencounter]

Hmmm. Did not know IO made Reef Crystal.

 

[fcmatt]

instant ocean reef crystals comes in an orange and white
bag that looks a lot like their old bag in some ways.
i think you have it covered.

Sea Chem has 2 types. I just switched from IO to Sea Chem Reef salt.

I was using Instant Ocean but now I'm trying Oceanic, which doesn't seem to be on either poll. Not sure if there's much of a difference, really, except for the calcium content.

Oceanic. I got a good deal on the first bucket and do not like to swith salt mikes.

Instant Ocean. It's the only one I have ever used.

 

[herpencounter]

I Instant Ocean just cheaper is that why every one uses it?

 

[Anonymous]

Cost is the reason I used to use it (no longer have the tank).

Is red sea salt really the most natural 87%...?

 

[Anonymous]

I used to use IO, but have recently moved to Reef Crystals because the trace levels are closer to what I am looking for.

I didn't use IO because it was cheap, I used it because I could always get it when I needed it. Too many other salts aren't stocked regularly locally, and I think it is consistency is critical to a healthy reef.

IO for the reasons Thales gave

I used IO for about a decade. If I started growing corals again, I would use IO again.

I Think IO is the best but red sea has what i need. :roll:
